Re: speedo not working nc35
Check the nylon cup on the end of the speedo drive gearbox. Sometimes they get damaged and don't engage the sprocket bolt.

Re: speedo not working nc35
I don't see a nylon cup when I take the cable out the drive.Just metal piece which the cable slots over.

Re: speedo not working nc35
You need to unbolt the speedo drive from the front sprocket cover. Theres a nylon fitting there that tends to break - sometimes a sign that your speedo drive itself is a bit stiff and needs lubrication

Nylon cup looks okay and when I spin it the speedo needle moves a little.What do I lubricate and with what?

Re: speedo not working nc35
On closer inspection the nylon cup does look rounded off.Got a new one and fitting tomorrow.
